Ngannou reveals when he will return to the octagon

UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou told how his rehabilitation after knee surgery is going and gave an approximate time frame for returning to the octagon.

“Now I'm better. It wasn't easy, but I managed. It's been three months, so I'm still going through physical therapy. If everything goes well, then I will be ready by the end of the year, because nine months will pass. I want to come back at the end of December or at the beginning of next year.

Rival? Let's act according to the situation. Now I need to resolve issues with my contract. When I'm close to returning, we'll see what's what," the Cameroonian said in an interview with TMZ.

Ngannou last fought on January 22 at UFC 270, defeating Cyril Gan via unanimous decision.
